Korean TV channel MBC is planning to make the sequel of popular 2003 drama “Dae Jang Geum” (or “Jewel In The Palace”). The sequel will be using the same production team, including director and screen writer, but there will be changes in the main cast.
The main actress of all in the first series, Lee Young-ae ((pic on our left) will not be featuring in this new production, and will be replaced with a relatively new star, Jeong Yu-mi (pic on our right).
Dae Jang Geum was one of Korea most successful TV drama ever, and it sparked huge interest worldwide about Korean culture and bring huge crowd of travellers to Korea to learn about their history.
The original Jewel In The Palace story was about the life of Korea first female royal physician back in the Joseon Dynasty, her name was Jang Geum, and the character was played by Lee Young-ae.
It’s said that the new sequel is using a new actress because Lee Young-ae has become so popular that her pay become very high, and the production cannot afford to pay her salary.. thus going for Jeong Yu-mi instead.
Yu-mi was quite a familiar face in Korea with some commercial advertisement, but she has only a few acting experience.. so it’s quite a suprise news for her to be picked for the important role.
No official news about what the storyline of the sequel, it will be kept as secret according to a MBC spokeman. Hope that Yu-mi will play as well as Young-ae, and hope that the new sequel will be as good as the original.

Lee Young Ae is Dae Jang Geum, nobody can replace her!MBC said she’s too old, her salary is too high etc.Why don’t you discuss & negotiate with her? LYA
became famous pf DJG series. I believe LYA is willing to receive not too high salary as long as is quite sufficient enough. You said she’s too old for the role. Why don’t you create the sequel as the continuatiuon of DJG series,when she & the family live outside the Palace and comeback to the Palace when the Queen/Empress calls her? I only wish DJG 2 will still be played by LYA, If not I will not see/watch DJG 2.

Please pass on the previous & this messages to Director Lee Btoung Hoon &
MBC,Both of you & creator Kim Yeong Hyeon(?) esp.LYA have the contribution that South Korea become more well-known thruout countries in the world, even Iran. See how they put LYA images on the aeroplane. busses and even on stamps! Not to mention how Tokyo & Hongkong fans & internet websites praised her. Do you intend also replacing LYA images from DJG Theme Park wiith the new star then ? I think it’s very silly. I am 70, I am a fan of you all as a team of this monumental work. Therefore, all of you esp LYA, please maintain LYA in DJG 2. If you still don’t, I suspect something behind your plan : perhaps MBC do a discrimantion in salary esp for actresses, or perhaps Director Lee for some reasons has hard feelings on LYA? Khamsa

Lee young ae can’t be replaced. the image of dae jang geum is her. it cannot be replacable. MBC will lose a lot of fans–we are a huge fan of dae jang geum; if she’s replace…..it will become awkward….o__O

I agree with Sky’s opinion.Better not make DJG2 at all. Instead why not make another beautiful classical/legendary story starred by LYA of course
LYA is already inactive for quite a long time, don’t waste your time & don’t make us waiting too long. May I suggest e.g.why not adapt the beautiful story of Taj Mahal into Korean version, story about Emperor Shah Jehan who loved his beautiful Queen Mumtaz (should be played by LYA). Come on, hurry up MBC or any other Korean/Chinese/Japanese TV producer.we esp.huge Chine fans are impatiently waiting.
I heard LYA is planning to establish franchise Korean restaurants everywhere
Take my advise : Dont’t waste all your money for this project. it will not endure long.Just establish them only in Korea,Japan, Hongkong, China, Tai
wan. For me From part of the money it’s better you build DAE JANG GEUM HOSPITAL for Women & Child care in Seoul or on Dae JUang Geum’s home
town with the statue of DJG in front with LYA as the model. I’m sure you’ll do a great merrit and your country & everybody will remember LYA in the future.
